The main tables of FIP Bronze Marnes II are known. And with a strong French presence in both the men's and women's draws, there will be numerous matches between French players right from the early rounds. Several players will also face tough challenges from the outset against... heads of series .
At men's, Julian Prins / Youp De Kroon (TS1) dominate the table ahead Nacho Moragues / Timéo Fonteny (TS2) , Thomas Leygue / Jesus Moya (TS3) et Johan Bergeron / Julien Seurin (TS4) .
Muesser/Hugounenq versus Sichez/Maigret, the first major French duel
At the very top of the table, Julian Prins / Youp De Kroon (TS1) will begin facing Rodrigo Tornelli Contreras / Rafael Marquet A big challenge for the Spanish-French pair against the two Dutchmen, both ranked 124th in the world.
The winner of this match will face the winner of the all-French match between Yanis Muesser / Arthur Hugounenq et Romain Sichez / Adrien Maigret .
Muesser / Hugounenq arrive with confidence after successfully qualifying for the main draw of the FIP Gold Belgrade last week. But Maigret's experience could prove decisive. In the first edition of the FIP Bronze Marnes, he reached the quarterfinals alongside Benjamin Tison , including a victory against Bastien Blanqué / Yoan Boronad .
Vanbauce is reunited with Pillon… but this time on the other side of the net
Another interesting poster: Thomas Vanbauce / Filippo Nicocia face Lucas Pillon / Sacha Huard de La Marre .
A unique aspect of this match is that Vanbauce had previously competed in the first FIP Bronze Marnes tournament with Pillon. This time, the two Frenchmen will be opponents.
The winner will then still have a lot of work to do, as he will face either Thomas Seux / Nathan Courrin i.e José Rico / Juan Cruz Forastello (TS5) These two have been playing together since the start of the season, already have a FIP Bronze title and will be among the pairs to watch this week, a big challenge right from the start for Seux and Courrin.
Joris/Blanqué directly facing TS6
No warm-up lap either for Maxime Joris / Bastien Blanqué .
The two Frenchmen will face off directly Alejandro García Calahorro / Marcel Font (TS6) A real test for Joris / Blanqué, who nevertheless have good references together, notably with a title won in FIP Bronze this summer.
Blanqué will also be looking to do better than in the first edition in Marnes, where his run ended in the round of 16.
In the event of a victory, they would regain Guillaume Ledrap / Pierre Perez Le Tiec or a pair from the qualifications.
Leygue/Moya in Marnes with the status of favorites
In the same part of the table, Tristan Piombo / Simon Wagner will face the Dutch Nicolas Van Betuw / Jort Nolten , with a real possibility of going for an eighth.
But the most anticipated match will be the one between Thomas Leygue / Jesus Moya (TS3) et Enzo Couacaud / Philémon Raichman .
Leygue and Moya have just relaunched their association in a very fine way. FIP Bronze Madrid , with a final and in particular a big victory against Daniel Santigosa / Ramiro Valenzuela Leygue has also just gained six places in the world rankings to return to 145th this week.
They will clearly be among the contenders for the title in Marnes.
The winner of the match Leygue / Moya (TS3) et Quack / Raichman will therefore face either Piombo / Wagner or, Van Betuw / Nolten .
Bergeron / Seurin in the lower part
In the other half, Johan Bergeron / Julien Seurin (TS4) will start against Bohdan Levchuk / Moritz Eiersebner .
In the event of a victory, they will find Hamza Berrahou / Bilal Duprat or a qualified pair.
The French wild card Johan Peloux / Quentin Bernard Meanwhile, he benefits from a first-round match against a qualifying pair. Behind him, an all-French quarter-final is possible, as the winner will face the winner of the duel between... Nathan Perrot / Arthaud Dumoulin et Yoan Boronad / Jérémy Robert (TS8) .
Fonteny / Moragues with the Belgians to start
At the very bottom of the table, Timéo Fonteny / Nacho Moragues (TS2) They too will have a first round to watch out for against the Belgians. Nathan Lambrechts / Maxime De Roose The Franco-Spanish pair are the second seed and are clearly among the favorites in this tournament.
In their part, Diogo Jesus / Antonio Luque (TS7) will begin facing the brothers Hugo and Asier Estébanez Estévez .
If the hierarchy is respected, we could therefore find an interesting Fonteny / Moragues – Jesus / Luque in the quarter-finals.
At least four strong French chances in the men's competition
A At least four pairs with a strong French presence can clearly aim for the semi-finals, or even better. . Timéo Fonteny / Nacho Moragues (TS2) are among the top favorites and, if they live up to expectations, are theoretically expected to reach the final. But in this half of the draw, Johan Bergeron / Julien Seurin (TS4) They also have an interesting draw and could reach the quarter-finals Yoan Boronad / Jérémy Robert (TS8) A potential 100% French shock that could, if logic prevails, allow us to have at least three French players in the semi-finals, and therefore a Frenchman guaranteed in the final .
In the upper section, the best chance lies in Thomas Leygue / Jesus Moya (TS3) , recent finalists at the FIP Bronze Madrid. They could cross paths Tristan Piombo / Simon Wagner from the round of 16, before a potentially tough quarter-final against Maxime Joris / Bastien Blanqué provided that they first pull off a major upset against Alejandro García Calahorro / Marcel Font (TS6) .
Barla / Lambert Agosti take TS1 directly
Among women, the French are not spared either.
Kimy Barla / Lou Lambert Agosti will probably face their biggest challenge with an eighth-final match against Ana Varo Ramos / Marcella Koek (TS1) The two favorites are ranked 92nd and 78th in the world respectively.
A big performance will therefore be needed to hope to continue the adventure.
Sireix/De Vocht are favorites against Marais/Wallart
Camille Sireix / Tess De Vocht (TS8) However, they will start as favorites against the French Eloise Marais / Iloe Marie Joe Wallart .
In the event of a victory, TS8 could potentially reach the quarterfinals Giulia Sussarello / Emily Stellato (TS4) provided that the Italian women maintain their position.
Marcarie / Senjean in a duel with a strong French flavor
Manon Marcarie / Cassandra Senjean will begin facing Fitia Robinson Andrianafetra / Juliette Sirgant .
A match with a strong French presence and a great opportunity to reach the round of 16. The winner will then have to face... Eugenia Guimet / Aimee Gibson (TS5) .
Bahurel / Val López favorites in the French duel
Louise Bahurel , associated with the Spanish Ivet Val Lopez , forms the seeded 7 They will begin against Ainhoa Berecoechea / Loann Jovasevic .
On paper, Bahurel / Val López will be the clear favorites, but the presence of Jovasevic, French U18 champion last season, accompanied by Ainhoa Berecoechea who also has references on the French circuit, she is currently 45th in France, will give interest to this match.
Dardaine / Mansart take the TS2 directly
Finally, a huge challenge for Marie-Amélie Dardaine / Clara Mansart .
The French pair, very active this season on the international circuit, have just obtained a wild card for the Paris Major In Marnes, she will be looking to do better than in the first edition, where her run ended in the eighth round.
But the draw was not kind to him: Dardaine / Mansart will directly face Catherine Rose / Rebeca Lopez (TS2) , respectively 91th and 84rd in the world.
Therefore, one of the biggest performances of the first round will be needed to continue the adventure.
More limited opportunities for women
In the ladies' category, the strong foreign presence makes the task more complicated for French women. Louise Bahurel , French number 4, associated with the Spanish Ivet Val López (TS7) They are among France's main hopes. If they live up to expectations, they should reach the quarterfinals, where they should logically face... Catherine Rose / Rebeca López (TS2) , two players in the world's top 100. A major obstacle, even if Bahurel and Val López have the tools to pull off an upset. .
The other top-seeded pair with a French player is Camille Sireix / Tess De Vocht (TS8) They too could reach the quarterfinals, with a potential duel against Giulia Sussarello / Emily Stellato (TS4) Among the top four seeds, this is perhaps the opponent that offers the most hope to the Franco-Dutch pair. On paper, Seeing a Frenchwoman in the semi-finals will therefore require defeating a higher-ranked pair. , but Sireix and Bahurel have already shown this season that they are capable of challenging higher-ranked players.
Between the French-French duels The French team will be directly up against the top seeds, and several French pairs are capable of upsetting the rankings. FIP Bronze from Marnes-la-Coquette could quickly hold some surprises.
I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
